Partlets were worn by all Flemish working women, it seems; there are few pictures showing a woman without one during the 1550s to 1570s. They are very easy to make, very versatile (the same partlet can be worn with a 1530s Tudor gown), and invaluable in reducing bodice-burn after long periods of time outdoors.his is a purely practical article on how to make an ensemble which looks, feels, and hopefully moves like those worn by 16th century Flemish marketwomen, servants and kitchenworkers. This page is excerpted from my book, The Well-Dress'd Peasant: 16th Century Workingwoman's Dress.
Report Abuse. The United States is a hybrid Representative Democracy and Constitutional Republic. It is not a direct democracy. As a Representative Democracy, the United States has elected officials (Senators, Congressmen, President, etc.,) who represent the people.he United States, according to a strict textbook definition, is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. In a representative democracy, we elect officials to pass and deliberate on legislation on our behalf. Source(s): High school degree, and i'm in Yelm.
The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums.y popular usage, however, the word democracy come to mean a form of government in which the government derives its power from the people and is accountable to them for the use of that power. In this sense the United States might accurately be called a democracy.
